summer meetlng began to-day at w aSn-
ington park. The attendance was
enormous and was the largest ever seen
in the park. The Derby, estimated at
$4,000. was won by d. j. McCarty's
chestnut colt c. II. Todd, by Joe
Hooker, dam Rosa B, who was ridden
by Hamilton. He was run out by an
other Californian, the Baldwin filly
Miss Ford, with West in the saddle.
On entering the grounds probably not
one person in a thousand of the vast
crowd had any thought of c II Todd, the
horse that won the derby. The opinion
was general that Lucky Baldwin would
SECURE THE RICH STAKE
with either GOliah or Miss Ford, and
when it was learned in the betting quar-
terS that Baldwin was backing the
former. there was rush of the crowd
to get its money on. Men almost fought
to reach one or other of the forty book
makers in order to back the GriDstead
colt. The book-makerS reaped grand
harvest in consequence. 1t was a field
of horses. the equal of which has not
been seen at the post for any event
in the Western circuit this season.
So desirable was the prize that
one owner had shipped a
horse from the East to contest it, and
two other owners sent for jockeys to
come a thousand miles to try and win.
(Snapper) Garrison, who stands second
to none as a close finiSher, was brought
from New York expressly to ride Hin
doc Rose and Andy (McCarthy), than
whom there are few better i'll the pig
skin, came on from Brooklyn to ride
Terra Gotta, horse which already had
a derby to his credit. Pitted against
these riders was Murphy,
THE FAMOUS BALDWIN JOCKEY,
and West, almost equally well known.
In addition was Hamilton, the first
jockey of the Haggin's stable, and Blay-
lock. Mr.. Mr.. Corrigan's heavyweight
rider As the derby horses came past
the stand in the preliminary gallop the
familiar black jacket and maltese
cross of Baldwin was loudly ap-
plauded. Murphy was up on Go
liah, racy looking colt with Il
good stride and wide awake appearance,
but he was never i'll the hunt when the
race was run, as c. II. Todd gallOped by
with Hamilton up. wearing the orange
with blue sleeves and cap of the Hag-
gins stable, for although Todd is owned
by ID. J. Mccarthy. of California, he is
being trained and run in the Haggins
string. There was hum of inquiry.
The horse was seen to be in the most
perfect form, moving easily and his coat
glistening like FURNISHED brass. "That'S
d racer was the cry. and many man
made a rush for the books, eager to
hedge out on Goliah and the rest, but it
was everlastingiy too late. The books
could not be reached, so thick
was the crowd. Though the
odds had been 25 to against
Todd, little OF no money practically had
been put up on him. Jim Gore, Terra
Gotta and Cory looked well and seemed
fit to go the distance. but the pace was
too much for them all. and at the finish
only Todd and Miss Ford were in it.
West, OH the latter,
FOUGHT EVERY INCH
of the way from the head of the stretch,
but the game Baldwin animal was rid
den out in vain, for the long stride of
Todd never wavered, and he kept his
Rose in front in spite of West hard rid
ing. and won by a neck in remarkable
time. AT the moment there was not q
foot of standing room to spare in the
grand stand, club house balcony or the
lawns in front of it. Wild excitement
was at fever heat. while the picture pre-
Sented was an inspiring one. A great
rainbow smashed out flat over the thou
sands of seats would have lent
much the same appearance to
the grand stand, as did the Occu-
pants. Ladies in all Imaginable
colors were interspersed between the
men in their light suits and white hats,
making the SceneiOne of almost painful
brilliancy. The array of carriages was
the largest that ever entered the gates.
Tally-hOeS were there and magnificent
tandem teams seemed common as huck-
leberries. The bulk of the crowd, nev-
ertheless, came by train or street car.
For them, as for their more fortunate
fellows, old Sol. beaming down without
a cloud to dim his brightness. made the
day all that could be desired, and the
wide stretch of green in the track, with
the little ponds and the white fences,
softened the glare into scene of Ara
bian beauty.
